Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of use of catalysts, particularly that of bimetallic catalysts, in the purification of natural waters by means of catalytic elimination of nitrates and nitrites that are present.
  • Nitrates are stable ions highly soluble in water, which can be eliminated by physical/chemical treatments such as ion exchange, reverse osmosis and electrodialysis. Nevertheless, these techniques end up by generating a concentrated solution of these ions and it is therefore necessary to employ other techniques that are more respectful of the environment [ A, Kapoor and T. Viraraghavan, J., Environ. Eng., 123 (4), 371 (1997 )].
  • Porous support selected from among aluminumoxide, silicumoxiden, aluminosilicates and active carbon impregnated by a metallic component, have been described in EP-A-0359074 for eliminating nitrates and nitrites from water.
  • Hydrotalcite supports in different catalysts have been described for different reactions, for example dehydrogenation ( WO-00/38832 , WO-99/46039 ), preparing aromatic compounds ( EP-0476489 ) but never for eliminating nitrates from water as described in the present invention.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of conventional treatments of waters containing nitrates by means of a catalyst for the reduction of nitrates in waters in which it has been surprisingly seen that a support with an Mg/Al structure and especially with a hydrotalcite structure in the formulation of the overall catalyst produces a catalyst that is very active, selective and stable.
  • the present invention refers to the use of a bimetallic catalyst in a process for eliminating nitrates in liquid phase, preferably for the treatment of waters containing nitrates, which comprises a support and at least one noble metal and at least one non-noble metal, the catalyst, in elemental and anhydrous form, having a composition corresponding to the formula: XYMgAl, in which X is at least one noble metal, preferably selected among Pd, Pt, Ru, Ir and Rh; Y is at least one non-noble metal, preferably selected among Cu, Sn, Zn, In, Ni, Ag, Fe or Co, Mg is magnesium, Al is aluminium.
  • Mg and Al preferably form a hydrotalcite structure.
  • the metals can have been incorporated into the hydrotalcite structure by impregnation or during the synthesis stage of the hydrotalcite.
  • non-noble metal or metals can have been incorporated into the hydrotalcite structure during the synthesis stage of the hydrotalcite, in which case the noble metal or metals have been incorporated by impregnation in a stage subsequent to the synthesis stage.
  • Mg and Al are present in the form of aluminium and magnesium oxides obtained from a precursor of hydrotalcite by calcination in air at temperatures between 350 and 800 °C, for a period of between 1 and 20 hours.
  • at least one noble metal and at least one non-noble metal can have been incorporated into the structure of the hydrotalcite precursor during the synthesis stage of the hydrotalcite.
  • the non-noble metal or metals have been incorporated into the structure of the precursor during the synthesis stage of the hydrotalcite in order to form oxides of Mg/Al/non-noble metal, in which case the noble metal or metals have been incorporated by impregnation in a stage subsequent to the synthesis stage.
  • the use of the catalyst of the present invention is for water treatment processes wherein the nitrates are eliminated in the liquid phase, and which consist of reducing the nitrates to nitrogen using a reducing agent, such as might be for example hydrogen, formic acid, hydrocarbons and combinations thereof.
  • a reducing agent such as might be for example hydrogen, formic acid, hydrocarbons and combinations thereof.
  • the hydrotalcite consists of a laminar structure that can be considered to derive from that of brucite, Mg(OH) 2 , wherein some of the magnesium atoms octahedrally coordinated by OH groups and which form an infinite two-dimensional lamina, have been replaced with trivalent metals (in this case, Al 3+ ), thereby generating an excess of positive charge in the lamina which has to be compensated with anions (normally, CO 3 2- ) which are located in the interlaminar space.
  • the laminas are stacked one on top of another, giving rise to a laminar structure for these compounds.
  • Hydrotalcite can be prepared by, for example, coprecipitation of a solution containing the appropriate metals in the form of soluble salts, preferably aluminium nitrates and magnesium nitrate, with an alkaline solution formed by a mixture of hydroxides and alkaline carbonates, preferably NaOH and Na 2 CO 3 , in sufficient concentration for achieving total precipitation of the metals of the first solution.
  • the two solutions are mixed vigorously.
  • the resulting gels are aged for between 3 and 20 hours at a temperature between 20 and 250 °C.
  • the products are filtered and washed until the filtrate has a pH between 6.8 and 7.5. Finally, the product is calcined at a temperature above 300 °C.
  • the noble metal preferably Pd, Pt, Ru, Ir or Rh
  • the non-noble metal preferably Cu, Sn, Zn, In, Ni, Fe, Ag or Co
  • the noble metal preferably Pd, Pt, Ru, Ir or Rh
  • the non-noble metal preferably Cu, Sn, Zn, In, Ni, Fe, Ag or Co
  • the percentage of noble metal oxide with respect to the mixture obtained is between 0.1 and 30 % by weight, preferably between 0.5 and 15 % by weight.
  • the preferred percentage of non-noble metal lies in the range 0.05 % to 10 % by weight.
  • One or two metals can also be incorporated into the hydrotalcite by adding a soluble salt of the metal to the solution that contained the Mg and Al salts during the synthesis stage.
  • concentrations are adjusted in order to obtain the desired proportions of metals in the final catalyst.
  • a copper compound such as for example copper nitrate
  • the necessary amount of a copper compound is added to the solution of aluminium nitrate and magnesium nitrate in order to obtain the quantity of copper that is desired in the final product.
  • the synthesised hydrotalcite or preferably hydrotalcite synthesised at a temperature between 350 and 800 °C for a period of between 1 and 20 hours, or more preferably hydrotalcite calcined at between 400 and 600 °C for a period of between 1 and 12 hours, can be used as support.
  • the calcination is carried out in the presence of air and preferably in the absence of CO 2 .
  • the second metal can be incorporated by impregnation on the hydrotalcite structure or preferably on the structure resulting from calcining the synthesis hydrotalcite according to the calcination conditions stated above.
  • the resulting material can be used as a catalyst or preferably calcined according to the conditions described above before being used as a catalyst.
  • the material is suitable for the treatment of waters containing nitrates and nitrites, in particular for eliminating nitrates present in natural waters.
  • a reducing agent preferably hydrogen or a source of hydrogen, such as for example hydrocarbons dissolved in nitrogen
  • the catalyst reduces the nitrates to nitrogen, forming a minimum quantity of ammonia.
  • 850 ml of an aqueous solution (A) of Mg(NO 3 ) 2 and Al(NO 3 ) 3 , 1.125 M in Mg(II) and 0.375 M in Al (III), and an aqueous solution (B): 3.375 M of NaOH and 1 M of Na 2 CO 3 are prepared.
  • the two solutions are mixed while being vigorously stirred and the pH is kept at 13.
  • the precipitate is then left to age for 18 h at 80 °C and it is filtered and washed until the pH of the wash waters is 7.
  • the sample obtained is calcined at 750 °C, with the BET area being 178 m 2 .g -1 .
  • the necessary quantity of copper is then impregnated at pore volume in order to 1.5 % by weight of copper.
  • the impregnated material is then dried and calcined at 500 °C.
  • the necessary quantity of palladium is then impregnated at pore volume in order to 5 % by weight of palladium. It is then dried and calcined at 500 °C.
  • a catalyst is prepared starting from a solution (A): 1.2 M in Mg(II) and 0.3 M in Al (III), and an aqueous solution (B): 3.33 M of NaOH and 1 M of Na 2 CO 3 are prepared.
  • the two solutions are mixed while being vigorously stirred and the pH is kept at 13.
  • the precipitate is then left to age for 18 h at 80 °C and it is filtered and washed until the pH of the wash waters is 7.
  • the sample obtained is calcined at 750 °C, with the BET area being 170 m 2 .g -1 and the copper content being 1.5 % weight.
  • the necessary quantity of palladium is then impregnated at pore volume in order to 5 % by weight of palladium.
  • the impregnated material is dried and calcined at 500 °C.
  • the catalyst of example 1 is used in order to evaluate its capacity for elimination of nitrates.
  • the material is first reduced in a flow of hydrogen at 500 °C for 2 hours and then hydrogenated in the liquid phase for 60 minutes at ambient temperature.
  • 0.8 g of catalyst is used in order to try to eliminate the nitrates present in 600 ml of a solution with a nitrates concentration of 90 mg/l.
  • the reaction is left to take place for 2 hours and the evolution of the concentration of nitrates, nitrites and NH 4 + during the reaction can be seen in figures 2 and 3.
  • the catalyst of example 2 is used in order to evaluate its capacity for elimination of nitrates following the same process as that described in example 4 and with the results shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 being observed.
  • the catalyst of example 3 is used in order to evaluate its capacity for elimination of nitrates following the same process as that described in example 4 and with the results obtained in Figures 1, 2 and 3 being observed.
